HURST Jaws of Life® S 799E2/S 799 cutter offers an 8.03-inch blade opening to get around tougher metals and newer designs in the posts. Available in the HURST Jaws of Life battery-powered eDRAULIC and 10,000-psi lines, the S 799E2 and S 799 reduce tool swing challenges by cutting A and B posts from its easy-to-handle perpendicular angle. It can also complete most B-post cuts with one bite. With first responder safety and comfort in mind, the S 799E2 and S 799 are ergonomically designed with a star-grip that permits tool actuation from almost any gripping position. Dead-man control valves will revert the tool to a neutral position if a worker’s hands slip from the control. Additionally, the S 799E2 eDRAULIC cutter comes with two batteries and one charger.
